UNITED STATES HERMAN M. BREKKE, 0F VIRGINIA, MINNESOTA.

CLOTHESPIN CARRIER.

Application filed November 13, 1523. Serial No. 674,524.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN M. BREKKE, citizen of the United States,residing at Virginia, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ClothespinCarriers, of which the following is a speci fication.

This invention relates to a carrier or bag particularly adapted for thereception of clothes pins, the primary object of such an invention beingthe provision of an article that includes a member to which a piece ofcloth or other suitable fabric may be so attached as to provide a bagfor the reception of clothes pins, the means to which said piece ofcloth or other fabric is secured being provided with a means whereby thesame may be detachably engaged with the clothes line, and this in such amanner that the bag or carrier may be moved along the clothes lineduring the hanging of clothes for providing a ready means for obtainingclothes pins during the clothes hanging operation.

One of the main objects of this invention resides in the provision of anarticle of this character that may be manufactured and marketed at anextremely small cost, the

device being very simple of construction, the same comprisingessentially but two parts that may be detached, but operatively joinedtogether in a simple and quick manner.

lVith the above and other objects in View as the nature of the inventionwill be better understood, the same comprises the novel form,combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described,shown in the accompanying drawings, and claimed. I

In the drawings, wherein there is shown the most practical embodimentsof the present invention, and wherein like reference charactersdesignate corresponding parts throughout the different views:

Figure 1 is an. elevational view of a clothes pin carrier constructed inaccordance with the present invention, the same being shown in use.

Figure 2 is an elevational View of one of the main elements comprisingthe present invention, said main elements including an angular shapedmetal plate provided at its corners with clasp members for allowing thedetachable engagement of the beforementioned piece of cloth or suitablefabric,

said plate member having associated therewith a hook element forallowing the assembled carrier to be positioned upon a clothes line andto be readily removed in opposite directions thereon.

Figure 3 is a plan view of said plate member,

Figure 4 is a plan view of the blank from which this member is formed,and

Figure 5 is a similar view of the beforementioned cloth elements that isadapted to be detachably associated with said plate member.

Now having particular reference to the drawings, my novel clothes pincarrier emj bodles the provlslon of a relatively squared sheet metalplate 5 that is formed at its four corners with relatively narrowtongues 6, and at its center point with a small opening 7 for thereception of the lower end of i the shank portion of a suitable hook 8.

In the formation of the cloth element attaching member, said squareshaped plate 5 is bent downwardly at its different corners: upon thefold lines 9, after which the beforementioned tongues 6 may be reverselybent for providing spring clasps 10.

The clothes pin receiving elementper se embodies as shown in Figure 5 asubstantially square shaped piece of fabricll', the edges of which aresuitably reinforced as at 12 and the four corners of which-are formedwith eyelet reinforcedopenings 13 it being of course understood that inactual use,

this cloth may be detachably associated with the plate 5 by engagingsaid opening.

13 over the clasp 10 at the opposite corners of said plate.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel and useful formof clothes pin carrier and one that may be readily supported upon theclothes line and moved to the desired position thereon during theclothes hanging operation for allowing ready access to behad to theclothes pin.

Although I have herein shown and described, the most preferredembodiments of the present invention, with which I am at this timefamiliar, it is nevertheless to be spirit and scope of the appendedclaim.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: I a

In a clothes pin carrier of the class described, a plate element,attachmentmembers formed at the corners of said plate member, a strip ofcloth of relatively 10 greater dimension than said platemember andformed at its corners With openings for engagement with said attachmentmembers at the corners of said plate.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signa- 15 ture.

HERMAN M. BREKKE.
